The results from the Wisconsin study support findings from a study of elderly Okinawans who followed calorie restriction for 60 years, limiting calories by only 11 percent: Their average lifespan is the longest, recorded in the world. They also experience less heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. Their quality of life is better too: Many Okinawans who practice calorie restriction remain active well into their nineties and beyond. †

“We see similar results,” says Paul McGlothin, president of LivingTheCRWay.com, where thousands practice calorie restriction. “The CR Way encourages moderate calorie restriction, which improves quality of life and is easy to follow.

“I find it interesting that 5 monkeys in the NIA study – four calorie-restricted and one control monkey – did live exceptionally long lives: beyond 40 years of age, when the average age of death of monkeys in captivity is 26.

“A CR Way lifestyle has produced supercentenarians – such as the famed Jiroemon Kimura, who ate three small meals a day and is verified as the longest-lived man in history.”
